Ahh, Gazelle. The ideal tracker sourcecode for music torrent sites. If there’s ever been room for another music tracker on the ‘net, it’s a high-quality lossless Gazelle tracker to compete with Pedro’s and E*. Enter Eargasm.ME - a new lossless audio tracker (100% log, no transcodes), billed as the new & improved Need-Music v2 - Eargasm.ME officially launched yesterday, and is very much still in ‘beta’, but early signs suggest a heightened interest in the development of this rebranded FLAC-only baby Gazelle.

Surely the easiest way to get into a private tracker is just to wait for registration to open. While this isn’t always an option, especially for closed-communities, the second-easiest method would be to simply buy your way in the door. After researching virtually every tracker out there, we uncovered a surprisingly large list of private trackers that sell direct access; that is, sell their own invites under the guise of a donation. Incredibly, some trackers want as much as 25€ (Euro) for a single invitation.
After briefly introducing 
Anyone who’s ever tried searching for audiobooks on private trackers probably knows how difficult they are to find. Since release groups tend to shy away from releasing audiobooks, scene/0day trackers are of no use, and most "elearning" trackers have very little to offer, either. You’ll find plenty if you’re fortunate enough to have an account at What.CD or Waffles; even Demonoid has a decent selection. But 
Some skeptics said this day would never come; others agreed that it was all part of a scheme to rake in more donations. After ongoing discussions spanning over the past two years in reference to a tentative beta release for SCC, finally it has come to fruition. The Internet’s #1 scene tracker has undergone quite a few new changes in SCC v2, although we doubt if it took the entire two years to code.
Compared to last month’s list of mostly-forgettable duds, this edition of new trackers contains a few pleasant surprises. New sites include: 3 new HD trackers; 2 music trackers; 2 niche trackers; and of course, some RO/EN trackers that you’ll probably want to avoid.
When it comes to discovering the latest goings-on, info and - shall we say - BitTorrent drama, one only needs to turn to a popular torrent forum. From there you’ll find blog links & news feeds, the latest scoops, and all the regular fare inclined to satiate the BT paparazzi and resident trolls. So, where are we going with this? Well, we’ve uncovered 3 new sites which we think you’ll enjoy (2 of them blogs) that cater to all things tracker-related. And you probably won’t find any of them listed elsewhere.
Haven’t heard about Cinavia? Chances are, you will soon if you download pirated movies and attempt to play them back on a Blu-ray player or through a PS3. Cinavia is a somewhat new DRM technology that uses "audio watermarking" embedded into the audio stream portion of a movie. In a nutshell, what it does is compare the source of the audio to the format in which a movie was released (ie theatrical or commercial disc), and if the watermarked audio source detects a difference, the movie will either be mute (but most likely not play at all). So far, there have been at least two popular movies found on peer-to-peer that contain Cinavia DRM: TS/CAM versions of The Wolfman and Shutter Island.
